Ensign understands Senate ethics and the rule of "conflict of interest" i.e. if you are sleeping with your staffer's wife you cannot keep her husband on the payroll of your office, you must fire him ;)
However, the right thing for Ensign to do was to say, "hey Doug, I am a son of a bitch. I slept with your wife. Please bring a gun and blow my head off." Instead he went to his Mommy and Daddy and asked them to give some hundred thousand dollars as compensation to Doug Hampton for having jollies with Doug's wife. That makes Doug's wife an escort.
"if you are sleeping with your staffer's wife you cannot keep her husband on the payroll of your office, you must fire him ;)"
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of an old joke about a more moral person than Ensign. The staffer's husband name if Jack and the punch line is: "I have to either lay you, or Jack off."
LoL,
ReplyDeleteGood one.
